    i'm in colorado. =) but that doesn't mean i don't still have 60 pounds to lose, haha. but really, it makes sense that CO is so lean - almost EVERYONE spends weekends in the mountains. in the summer, hiking and in the winter, skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, etc. it is very easy to be healthy here.

    Louisiana is #6. I honestly thought we'd be higher.

    Illinois is 26, last year it was 27 so I guess that's an improvement! :noway:

    Arizona is 30th. If I lived in Mississippi, I'd have a hard time keeping slim. So much good food there! Po' Boys, Gumbo, Red Beans and Rice, Jambalya, Hush Puppies. Oh the hush puppies!

    Wyoming...38th, unchanged from last year. Could have fooled me with as many larger people I see walking around, I thought we'd be ranked higher.
